Scientists Reveal How James Webb Telescope Would Capture Images Of Black Holes

Although the Hubble Space Telescope wasn’t the first-ever launched into space, it’s one of the largest and most valuable. It was used to discover and confirm that what were thought to be clouds of dust and gas were actually galaxies beyond the Milky Way.

It’s the length of a school bus and weighs as much as two elephants.

Now, this telescope dates to 1946, more than a decade before NASA was established. So, you can imagine the technology it ran on.
